There is a lot to consider. WP was originally made for blogs, but has implemented many ways to make a website without the blogging features, but you will need to put in time to do that.
If you want an actual website with a lot of catagories, products, and a shopping cart and that is easy to learn Abantecart is the way to go. You can actually even combine them (Have a WP site and use Abantecart for the actual shopping cart). They are both going to take a little patience to learn if you are brand new to making your own site.
   Personally I use WP for one page sites that just have info and are not selling anything, and Abantecart for ecommerce because I can customize it any way that I want and it is set up from the beginning to sell.
I hope that helps.

Both WordPress and AbanteCart are popular platforms for e-commerce, but they have different strengths and features. The choice between the two depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here's a comparison of WordPress and AbanteCart to help you make a decision:

WordPress:

Flexibility: WordPress is a versatile content management system (CMS) that can be used for various types of websites, including e-commerce. It offers a wide range of themes and plugins, allowing you to customize your online store according to your requirements.
Large user base and community: WordPress powers a significant portion of the web, so there is a vast community of users, developers, and resources available. This makes it easier to find support, tutorials, and extensions for your e-commerce site.
WooCommerce integration: WooCommerce is a powerful e-commerce plugin for WordPress, providing extensive functionality for online stores. It offers a variety of features, including product management, payment gateways, shipping options, and more. WooCommerce is user-friendly and widely used.
Content management capabilities: WordPress excels in content management, making it ideal for businesses that want to combine e-commerce with a content-rich website. It offers blogging features, SEO optimization, and the ability to create pages and posts easily.
AbanteCart:

Dedicated e-commerce platform: AbanteCart is specifically built for e-commerce and offers a comprehensive set of features out of the box. It provides features like product management, multiple payment gateways, shipping options, marketing tools, and more, tailored specifically for online stores.
User-friendly interface: AbanteCart has a straightforward and intuitive interface, making it easy for non-technical users to set up and manage their e-commerce store.
Performance and speed: AbanteCart is known for its efficiency and fast loading times. It is optimized for performance, ensuring a smooth shopping experience for your customers.
Lightweight and resource-friendly: AbanteCart is lightweight compared to WordPress, which can be beneficial for websites with limited server resources or those aiming for faster performance.
Ultimately, the choice between WordPress and AbanteCart depends on your specific requirements, technical expertise, and preference for flexibility or dedicated e-commerce functionality. If you prioritize flexibility, content management capabilities, and a large user base, WordPress with the WooCommerce plugin may be the better choice. On the other hand, if you prefer a dedicated e-commerce platform with an easy-to-use interface and optimized performance, AbanteCart may be the better option.

It really depends on your needs. WordPress is great for flexibility and content, but AbanteCart is focused on e-commerce. So, if you need a full e-commerce solution, AbanteCart might be the better fit.
